Moly is fine in the engine side.
Just can't use it on the clutches.

Why 20w50 in the winter time?
Will be like mud.

Id rather run 10w40, esp with the colder temps.

Save the 20w50 for the 100degree days.

Everything else is fine.

i use 20w50 year round. it doesnt make that much of a difference when the engine is warm, temp outside has no effect on that really, its only 10w more then a 10 40 and once the engine is warm the temp outside doesnt matter

Lubrication for cold starts is still critical.
